Comments Thread For: DiBella: Ishida is One of Several Names in The Running

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Lou DiBella, promoter of middleweight king Sergio Martinez, confirmed a recent newsbreaker that appeared on BoxingScene.com. DiBella notes that exciting Japanese slugger Nobuhiro Ishida, who floored James Kirkland three times en route to an upset first round TKO last Saturday night in Las Vegas, is in the running for a fall fight against the menacing Martinez. DiBella does make it clear that Ishida is only "one name of several" which the veteran promoter provided on a list submitted to HBO for approval.

I hope it happens. I'm rooting for Martinez, but I love when a supposed no-hoper is thrown into the fight which was supposed to be pre-destined and he pulls out the upset. Now he gets a real big fight as a result. Couldn't be happier for the guy.

How much money is ishida the gawd looking at to see?

[ИATAS]

that's great for Ishida, he came up big, but imo this is a joke fight.

I agree completely. That's what makes the sport of boxing what it is.
